M A I N TA I N I N G YO U R V E H I C L E ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) • The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle. • When the fuel nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank is full. • Tighten the gas cap until you hear a "clicking" sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened. If not properly tightened, the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) may come on. NOTE: The driver's side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel door is open. CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emissions control system could result from using an improper gas cap. A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system and may cause the MIL to turn on, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system. • To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not "top off" the fuel tank after filling. WARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regulations and/or local bylaws, and will cause the MIL to turn on. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling. 111
